{"product_id":"rainbow-sherbet-coneflower-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Rainbow Sherbet Coneflower - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eRainbow Sherbet is a fully double coneflower whose pompom blooms start out orange and fade to coral pink, so a single plant shows two tones at once. The 4½-inch flowers are big and full, with a skirt of wide petals framing a tufted center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant forms a dark green mound 26 to 28 inches tall with strong branching stems that hold the heavy flowers upright. Use it in the middle of a sunny border, in large containers or as a cut flower, where its warm blend of colors reads from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully double pompom flowers about 4½ inches across: a dense, rounded central tuft of short petals surrounded by a single ring of wide, overlapping ray petals held nearly flat. Newly opened blooms are bright tangerine orange and older blooms soften to coral pink, so orange and coral flowers appear side by side. Flowers sit on sturdy, branched stems above a mounded base of dark green, lance-shaped leaves. The plant grows 26 to 28 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom in midsummer it is topped with many large pompoms in mixed orange and coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts orange-to-coral pompoms make a warm contrast to cool purple lavender, and it wants the same sunny, well-drained ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun to light part shade and average to lean soil that drains well; once established it handles dry spells with little extra water. Hardy in zones 4 to 8. Snip faded flowers to keep it tidy, or leave the last round of seed heads standing for winter birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echinacea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangerine orange aging to coral pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounded with upright branched stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–28 in tall × 18–24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
